Optimizing the home experience.
The interior design of this three-story home maintains the integrity of the existing character of the home while enhancing the character of the spaces, giving them a sophisticated simplicity with a neutral and warm material palette.
Challenges
Because of the original open layout, some interior spaces were missing identity and definition. One of the main challenges of this interior design exercise was to redefine the original character of the house, breaking down the layout into individual, welcoming spaces.
Solution
Through the introduction of custom millwork elements, we were able to define a new window reading/entertainment space, a more intimate dining area, and a welcoming living room with a new feature fireplace, visible from all areas of the ground floor.
The basement became a family entertainment area with a new yoga room, home office, a media entertainment zone, and a guest bedroom. One of the main features of the design is a multi-face custom shelving unit that frames the existing stair, hosts the bedroom’s murphy bed, and defines the new home office.

Eric delivered five-star service and results for our project.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I found him to be transparent with the contract terms, attentive as we planned, patient as I worked through decisions and changed my mind, a very good listener and open to input. Importantly he was very responsive — with deliverables coming in on time or sooner which I find is rare.Â
His style speaks for itself. We would definitely use him again.
